Race Control

freeliveanalytics

Official race-direction output, delivered verbatim. racecontrolmessages is the raw FIA feed — safety car, VSC, red flag, track-limits warnings, overtake-system toggles, penalties, and steward decisions — and is often the most commercially important feed for in-play products. trackstatus carries the live flag code.

For pre-parsed structured events derived from these messages (investigation.opened, penalty.applied, lap.time.deleted, overtake.enabled, …) see the Race Events reference →
